Teacher Tips:  Sites

"Studies show that the way “a person ‘feels’ about a learning situation determines

the amount of attention devoted to it” [David A. Sousa. How the Brain Learns. (Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press, 2001), 43.]" [Julie A. Sellers Best Advice:  Love What You Learn.  (The National association of Judiciary interpreters and Translators Volume XiX, No. 2)]
